AdFoc - Yahoo answers?

Hey everyone so I reached level 2 in yahoo answers, meaning that my URL will be clickable.

I was reading Yahoo answers policy
"Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it's OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain."

I was thinking of putting adfoc as a link to the source URL as I'm sure I can get a good amount of clicks, but do you guys think that violates the policy and will get my account terminated?

    Is the link going to lead to a page that's related to the topic and helpful to people looking into the question? If that's the case then it may go unnoticed. I'm not sure where yahoo stands on this.

    Yeah the link will go towards the topic that people are talking about. I make sure I answer questions that pertain to my niche site.

    I messaged "Adfoc" but they haven't got back to me.

      Part of it depends on the market you're in. In certain markets competitors will aggressively flag you for spamming even if you've written the most helpful answer in the thread. For less competitive markets that's typically not a big issue.

    Yahoo Answers are great if you answer it great. Are live links still click-able even your account is suspended?
